Idiot parents

I'm going to be a first-time dad soon so it's a little scary wondering if you're going to know what to do. You just hope you don't screw things up. Like these two. This lovely couple decided to go shopping at some outlets--a little late-night, post-Thanksgiving shopping. So rather than do something silly like leaving the woman's two-year old son with relatives they decide to just lock the car doors and leave him in the parking lot. And it only got down to about 36 degrees so I'm sure the little boy was fine in his t shirt and jeans (he was barefoot). Apparently the mother didn't want to wake the child. What? The dude is not only charged with confining an unattended child, he's also facing a marijuana possession charge. I wouldn't trust these two with a paper route.

And somehow the authorities turn the kid over to relatives of the boyfriend. Yikes. You might as well tie a steak around his neck and throw him in a lion cage.
